This project is sponsored by both the Canadian Council for the Arts and the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada. The overall goal is to produce a system for gesture controlled spatialization of sound which can be used in concert performances. As part of this there are 3 main research work packages and one musical work package. The work packages are:

• WP1: Development of a 3-dimensional sound spatialization system
• WP2: Design of novel methods for gesture controlled sound spatialization
• WP3: Research into the perception of sound spacialization
• WP4: Compositional uses of gesture-controlled sound spatialization

I am part of work package 2, along with Marcelo M. Wanderley and Joe Malloch.

Specifically, my involvement in the project consists of:

• Examination of existing controllers for use with spatialization
• Development of a framework for general control of spatial audio
• Design and development of novel controllers for spatialization
